Toronto Distillery District with Minolta 16mm 1:2.8

Finally I found time to re-process files from the last year trip to the Distillery District in Toronto. The set below was taken with Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Minolta MD 16/2.8 fish-eye lens.

All images were post processed in Silver FX Pro, with low key filter to add some drama, may be too much :)
This is a second generation (metal aperture ring but 10 elements ) MD lens, typical fisheye (180˚ on 135 film) and incorporates 4 built in filters being Red (R60), Yellow (Y52), Blue (B12) and UV (Normal).

The lens is not corrected so don't expect any straight lines!

The lens worked very well with my Fuji (via cheap adapter) and was definitely fun to use.
